Strolling along the shore,
Sand dissolving beneath my feet.
As the tide lures it away,
So it pulls me too.

Pushing and pulling,
Pulsing back and forth.
Does it warn me away,
Or beckon me forward?

My chest feels the pressure,
As further I journey.
Not easy to breathe, 
Impossible to stop.

Floating,
Weightless,
Lifeless,
Embarking on darkness.

  Yes, thank you for asking. Not sure where it came from. I just had the idea come to me. I appreciate you asking though. 🙂

    Just wondered, I used a lot of drowning motifs in my works unconsciously when I was suicidal. Good to know you’re alright, take care!! 😊
